Guest Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 After Kane, Sterling was our best player. His movement and running with the ball were great. Lingard/Alli are the ones for me who have to step up. Both went missing for chunks of the game and Lingard had chances on the break but his end product was poor. We definitely were worse after Sterling went off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) The only change I would make would be RLC for Alli. I's certainly not be fucking about changing formation. Edited July 4, 2018 by DazBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 4, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2018 We definitely were worse after Sterling went off Yep. Though I think the mindset was changing. I also had a thought that Dier could be our Fellaini. He's decent in the air, and should we need to go direct in search of an equiliser he'd be quite useful. Not creative in midfield but may have a use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madthatter Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 He was injured for most of extra time Kane. Hope he's fit. Why would changing the system be suicide? We're not creating chances as things stand and Sweden will know exactly what they have to do against us to stop us. Pretty much been answered above but same reason for me - we've trained, drilled and know that system and it allows some flexibility which the squad are clued in on. It's Kevin Keegan like to switch things last minute . . . Said all along we don't really have an effective plan B and when teams adapt we struggle, yet here we are! We definitely were worse after Sterling went off Agree but I'd put that down to the system rather than the player. I'll admit he creates space and panics defenders, probably better than anyone, but without any end product I'm not seeing the benefit. Toss of a coin between him and Rashford I suppose. What's said above about Alli looking better with better players around him probably goes for Sterling as well LC for Alli isn't a bad shout either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underpants Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Will be a below average premier league type of game. England go out to a deflected shot. Or not getting the rub of the green on a VAR decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deane koontz Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Alli definitely looks like he's carrying an injury, doesn't seem to be moving freely at all. Surprised he stayed on for so long. I'd play Loftus-Cheek for him, I'm happy with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, we seem to be unbalanced. Rose far more aggressive in getting forward. all quite predictable down that left side at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 5, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yep agreed. Crosses a decent cut backs from both sides can only benefit Kane in his pursuit of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Yep agreed. Crosses a decent cut backs from both sides can only benefit Kane in his pursuit of goals. plus, i know Rose was out of the Spurs side more than he was in last season but both he & Trippier play with Kane everyday. They'll know where he wants to ball, or what space he will be going in to when either of them are on it Edited July 5, 2018 by barrycowdrill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Young is in for his set piece delivery which to be fair is excellent. Miss him there if he’s out. But Rose having a left foot will offer more balance in possession. He was unlucky not to score in extra time was Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
